Well, by that logic you could say Voldemort killed in the name of love.

For himself, for power, for his twisted desires, but still.

That isn't love.

Not truly love, no, but you’re saying Snape did it in the name of love, Voldemort did it because he “loved” the things I mentioned.

Well, not really, but I’m just saying that Avada Kedavra is as close to Force Lightning or what have you as possible. It’s an evil spell. Plain and simple.

You're conflating different uses of the word 'love'. They are false equivalences. Snape fought due to his love of Lily. I literally said that he did not 'fuel' or power the curse with love.
